Girls' Basketball Coach Resigns, Citing 'Extreme Parental Interference'
There is a lesson in this for parents....your role is to support and encourage your child not coach. If you want to coach then get on the court, field, diamond or whatever and find out what it's really like. Everyone is an armchair QB!

Today's Training Session: POWER!
Another training session oriented towards power with some med ball work, jumps and sprints.
Warmup: Leg swings, arm circles, lateral squats, Inchworms, Spider stretch
Workout: Med ball scoop toss 2 x 5 @ 4 kg; Med ball overhead toss 2 x 5 @ 4 kg.; Explosive stepups 2 x 10; 8 x 120 meters w/ 90 sec. recovery.
Comments: The med ball work was long response work instead of the quicker, short response work I've been doing lately. The sprint work was as much conditioning/metabolic oriented as power work though virtually anything under 15 seconds would qualify as power work in my estimation.
Train hard and train smart!

Today's Training Session: POWER!
These may currently be my favorite workouts, power training workouts that is. They are particularly important as we get older as we lose power at twice the speed that we lose strength.
Warmup: Ankle mobs, forearm wall slides, Indian clubs, tabletop hamstring, tabletop hip rotators, lateral squats, rotational squats, arm circles, leg swings
Workout: Box Jumps 3 x 5 @ 30"; Med ball circuit: Ricochets 2 x 15 sec. @ 4 lbs; Chest pass 2 x 12 @ 6 lbs; Alt. hip toss-2 x 6 ea. @ 6 lbs; MB soccer throw 2 x 8 @ 6 lbs.
Jump rope 4 x 30 sec. on/30 sec. off
Sprint ladder: 10-20-30-40-50-60 (walk back for recovery) x 2 w/2.5 min. for recovery.
Comments: This was another speed-strength day for the med ball work. People fail to realize that power training has a large speed component to it and overloading the movement makes it more of a strength movement than a power movement.
Starting to integrate some rope jumping back into my routines. We will see how my ankle tolerates it and recovers.

Should High School Tracks Be Open to the Public?
Should High School Tracks Be Open to the Public?
It's public money so the public should have access to it and that means you get even more bang for your buck. The rest are just excuses in my book.

Today's Training Session: Total Body Strength Training
Today was a total body strength training session. Needed to go to the gym as I needed an environment to get me going today which doesn't usually happen. Once I got there I was good to go but not sure I would have done much if I tried it alone.
Warmup: Ankle mobs, forearm wall slides, tabletop hamstring, tabletop hip rotators, Indian clubs, low box hip flexor, 1/2 kneeling adductor, open hip t-spine rotation
Workout: Quad set:Goblet style RFESS 4 x 12 @ 50 lbs., Chins 4 x 15; 45 degree back raise 4 x 12 @ 50 lbs; TRX suspended pushups (ft. in stirrups) 4 x 25
KB Farmer's walks: 2 x 80 yds. @ 32 kg.
Comments: Found my mojo once I got to the gym because I was searching for it before that time. Sometimes you need the energy of a gym to get you going.
